Massive Courtois blow for Chelsea.
Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois could miss as much as four months of the season with a knee injury, according to breaking reports.
The Belgian international has been treated for the problem in Barcelona, where journalist Ed Maylon claims the latest suggestion is that he will be out for even longer than expected.
Reports from Barcelona, where Courtois was treated at the Clinica Quirón, suggest Chelsea keeper could be out for four months.
